Huskers, Wildcats,
Sooners Win First °

Round Softball Games

The rain didn’t start soon enough Monday to keep the Corn- |
huskers, Wildcats and Sooners from ringing up first round Na-
tional Big Six Softball league victories. ‘The Cornhuskers
trounced the Jayhawkers 7-2; the Wildcats took the wind out of \
the Cyclones 12-1; and the Sooners crossed home plate 19 times
to 9 for the Tigers.

Bob Allen turned in a well pitched game to start the Corn-
huskers off on the right track. Last summer Allen pitched for
the championship Jayhawker club. Reed was on the receiving
end for the winners, and Forker® : ——-
and Naylor made up the Jay-
hawker’s battery.

Lawrence threw the Cyclones
every thing but hits and runs
and the Wildcats threw in some
support to give him an easy 12-
1 triumph. Lawrence and
Pitts formed the battery for the

winning club; Senter and Ster-
rett for the losers. Numerous er-
rors were costly to the Cyclones.

It took a lot of runs to convince
the Tigers, but the Sooners came up
with 19 of them and 19 runs can do
a lot of convincing. The Sooners
scored six in the first, added six in
the third, and threw in seven more
for good measure before they fin-
ished. The Tigers scored six of their
runs in the last two innings, mostly
on the slugging of Hays, Frost and
O’Lander. Wood, Hays and Mosser
led the winners in hitting. The bat-
teries were: Sooners, Mosser and
Pritchard; Tigers, Hays and Blowey.

Wednesday’s games were called
off because of rain, but were to have
been played yesterday if the fields
dried off enough. If not, they may
be played today, or later in the sea-
son. This round was to throw the
Wildcats against the Tigers; Cy-.
clones against the Cornhuskers; and
the Sooners against the Jayhawkers.

 

Games for Monday are: Wildcats

 

vs. Cornhuskers: Tigers vs. Jay-
hawkers; and Cyclones vs. Sooners.
